The Australian National University is a world-leading university in Australia's capital city, Canberra. ANU's location points to its unique history, its ties to the Australian Government and its special standing as a resource for the Australian people. ANU's focus on excellence in research and education ensures graduates are in demand the world-over and are well-prepared to address complex contemporary challenges. ANU has seven academic colleges that house a number of schools and research centres that specialise in a range of disciplines.
